LOVERLY AND BE-DEVILED… 6/15

TAROT HAIKU

Love is everywhere

There is no place it can’t be

Eyes closed breathe it in

 

Good morning… Thought I’d summersault my way to these pages this morning.  Clearly, a daily TArot and numerology experience is not going to happen here, tho’ I do so love sharing my perceptions here with you.  It wasn’t all that long ago that I ‘interviewed’ the Lovers, (13th june) and here that day rolls back as it does in what seems often.

How ever it all shakes out, this is a day of relationships, communion with others, the gift of caring, giving and receiving, the experience of deepening yourself with yourself through the exchange with others.  

In this dual world of light n’ dark, sorrow and joy, all those opposites staring each other in the face; this is a day to find awareness in your own humanity, and how you can take those opposites and find your center.  People, relationships, love, communion, all are ways to know who you are in the world.  How you can be your best self by the reflection of others.  

Be-devilment, is that piece of the story that stirs the pot of these exchanges allowing for deeper and more meaningful challenges to rise to support or inhibit your relationships.  

And, when questions of trust, or a feeling of giving and giving and getting nothing in return rise, the Devil pokes and prods you into finding the sweet spot to figuring that all out.  Only, it doesn’t often feel very good in the process.  So, if you give and feel there is no return and you’re on empty, maybe it’s a time to consider this: are you giving for the simple joy of giving or are you giving cause you desire return.  To give in a pure sense, is to receive.  If relationships are not feeling good, then is it time to settle into observing the journey?  Is this how you wish your ‘Heart’s Desire’ to flow?  If not, than what is your intention?  And how can you find the joy in the center?

 

QUESTION TO PONDER

 

How do you sustain harmony and balance in your life?

When do you notice that you have ‘giving yourself away’ and there isn’t enough for just you?

If the ‘Devil made you do it’, what would you have done otherwise?

What patterns rise for you when life is going well and balanced, and you get restless to stir the pot up by creating disharmony?  Why?

How do you make sure that you are taking care of yourself as well as others?

How does the ‘be-devilment’ remind you of who you really are?

How do you trick yourself into believing the unbelievable?

How will you nurture your relationships in a healthy way?

How do you make friends with your devilish side?

What would you like to do differently from your usually pattern of caregiving that still feels like you are giving and receiving?

DO IT SCARED

TAROT HAIKU

 

Go and do it scared

Fear holds you if you let it

Soar into life free

 

And what might you transform today?    Good morning.  A day/year, if it’s your birthday, of Transformation.  Making space for what you always believe was your heart’s desire and life cluttered it up…. with your help.  

Death.  Many of us don’t like to talk about death or consider it.  There is a great fear around it,especially when it concerns physical death.  I’m of the mind and heart that this card is more about ‘the death of a way of doing things, or maybe the ending of something that needed ending long ago… or maybe bringing closure to that thing that never really was going any where.  What is that you have in your life that binds you to some discontent that never feeds your soul quite right?  Can you Let It Go?  It might take a little baby step at a time.  It might not even be something you give much attention to.  It might be an old pattern that you repeat and repeat, hopeful that it will one day surprise you and Voila, it’s all good.  What ever holds you from the fullness of yourself, I invite you to consider letting it go and giving space for something that Fills you up with goodness and light.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What holds you from having all the joy you deserve? Name three.

Who told you that you can not have your heart’s desire?

What is your heart’s desire?

What does transforming a situation mean for you?

How have you cluttered up your life and what can you do about that?

What is one small thing you can let go of today to start the process of releasing old crap?

What scares you into complacency?

How does death scared you?

How can you live your life free of fear?

What can keep you grounded as you release old stories and things that need letting go of?

What boundaries need your attention as you attend to making life joyful?

What does it mean to you to take the risk of letting go and taking a jump more fully into your life?

GIVIN’ THE LOVIN’

Posted on by
Standard

23 may 2012   >   6/15  >  Lovers/Devil

 

TAROT HAIKU

It’s a festival

The air is filled with heart beats

be the love you want

 

Good morning… Can you feel all the love you’re gonna be having and giving today?  Relationships are the keynote speaker today and that means with you and with those that give meaning to your life wether you like it or not.  And then there is always the relationship you have with yourself.  Now, there’s a tricky one!  How’s that going anyway?

 

Getting real’ with yourself and others in that exchange between people that requires depth and integrity.  Saying what you mean from your heart. Nurturing the love and kindness of life.   Pausing before you spill some inappropriate honesty that really doesn’t serve you or a loved one.  Cause… ya’ll know that the bedevilment card lurks in the peripheral, and can feel compelled to say just about any ol’ thing to stir the pot of goodness into something not so nice.  That is the gift of the Devil: to hear that voice that has no filters before it actually pours out of your mouth. Cause, you know when you have that funky attitude going on.  Right?

 

In the ‘6’ there is a great desire for harmony, there is the nurturer, the care giver, the humanitarian, the giving of the self so that others thrive, and the focus on hearth and home.  If your number is ‘6’ (add your date of birth together) you also have a charm about you that can be irresistible. Problems rise when you have given yourself away and have nothing left for you.  It’s easy to see the Lovers in this number.  

 

‘15’ is the Devil card… and how you get to the Devil, is by ‘1’, the magician, and ‘5’, the Hierophant.  There is certainly magic and the twirling of the element going on when the Devil is hungry, and there is that Self-righteousness, that can be in the Hierophant.  Put the whirl and twirl of magical thinking and the Self-righteousness of a person that imagines them-selves superior and you can have some negative behavior going on.

Be mind-full and kind.

 

QUESTION TO PONDER

 

How do you sustain harmony and balance in your life?

When do you notice that you have ‘giving yourself away’ and there isn’t enough for just you?

If the ‘Devil made you do it’, what would you have done otherwise?

IS THAT REALLY IMPOSSIBLE?

Posted on by
Standard

22 may 2012  >  14/5  > Alchemy/Art/Hierophant

 

TAROT HAIKU

Take your magic wand

Nothing is impossible

The Universe waits

 

Now that we have transformed our yesterday or maybe that’s what you get to do all year if it’s your birthday, we come to a day of Alchemy.  The Art of putting the impossible with the improbable and making magic happen.  The risk of mixing together unlikely situations, or people, or whatever, and seeing what new and wondrous element comes into being.

With the wisdom of the Hierophant, the deeper the spiritual component is, the deeper the experience can be.  The Hierophant enjoys the research and resourcing that it takes to bring differences and likeness together.  It’s a trust your inner wisdom opportunity.  It’s trusting that you have gather what you need to bring to the cauldron of life the magic of mixing it all up and making something work.

It’s an outta the box kinda day. ‘5’ invites the resourceful you to start gathering and thinking out of the box.  It can look like the five pointed star.  Remember yesterday when the Emperor, who very much likes order, structure, and abide-able rules, laid claim to your day or birth-year?  Today is a day/year to consider how attached you are to all that form and order, and do you need to get out of your ‘box’?  In other words, are you confined, defined, stuck in a structure in your life that  is not really expansive and creative anymore?

Today is day to keep a watchful eye.  To gather info, that is relevant to you.  Perhaps, a project needs you to dig a little deeper, or looking outside your box is necessary for your sanity.  Maybe, you feel moved by the spirit of something you can’t define and feel the urge to explore it.  If you want to know ‘everything’ than you have to go and learn about it.  Alchemy/Art, invites you to get creative with that.  Try something that you were pretty sure wasn’t going to work that way and do it anyway.  Mix the unlikely with the probably and see what happens.

 

QUESTION TO PONDER

 

How do you step out of the routine of you life and seek something different and full-filling?

What seems impossible that you would either like to step more deeply into and see what happens, or you might need to let it go?

What feels impossible and yet you’re not done figuring it out?

What might me an unlikely thing to do  that actually might work?

What keeps you from exploring your creativity?

Do feel trapped in your ‘box’ and in what ways that are healthy might you reach out of that?

When you think of spiritual leader, can you imagine your own inner spiritual guide and what does he/she/they feel and look like?

What research might you need doing to take you to the next step?

Are you missing the connection to your own spiritual practice?

How might you bring a spiritual practice into your life?

What resources do you need and who do you know that can help you?

BREATH WITH DEATH

Posted on by
Standard

21 may 2012  >  13/4/0   >  Death/Emperor/Fool

 

TAROT HAIKU

Breathe Breathe breathe breathe breathe

Breathe breath breathe breathe breathe breathe breathe

NOw is all there is

 

How about that Eclipse last night?  I was in a field with about 40 people singing, dancing, meditating.  It was ecstasy. That’s how I took a look at life from another perspective yesterday.

How about you?

 

Today…. After such an amazing evening, the invitation from Death arrives. Death speaks to me about taking yesterdays enchantment and elemental connections that filled me up with the grace and glory of the sacred, which is in All of everything, and transform it.  Allowing today to let go.  Let go and give space for more of the sacred to come into my life in a mind-full way.

Letting each moment die off for the next moment to fill.  Again and again.

I think it’s a bit like the cup being full and pouring.  filling and pouring.  Receiving and giving.  Letting go for more spaciousness in life.  Feeling the fool jump into life.

 


QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

How do you let go and give more spaciousness to your life, your heart?

What has held you to something that doesn’t serve your highest good and needs release?

What will you transform?

Can you live in the moment?  the Be Here NOw?

What does living an inspired life mean to you?

LESSONS IN ’10’ KEEP ON TURNING

Posted on by
Standard

18 may 2012 > 10/19/1 > Wheel of Fortune/The Sun/Magician

TAROT HAIKU
Why push life so hard
There is hardly any flow
Make life like water

And around again comes the wheel… And where might you be positioned in the circle?
For me… tho’ we start the 1-9 numbers again today, in the tarot cards, 10 is that number just past completion. Not simply starting all over again within the ‘1’ energy; there is a pause in a state of ‘over the top’, one step beyond, the ‘9’.
There can be a little extreme in the ‘10’s. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration. Possibly, a bit of ‘try to hard’. That pushing at the edges of the Wheel to understand how life turns, or maybe how life needs attending to.
So, in this day of the Wheel of Fortune and her allies, the Sun, and the Magician: perhaps you might consider what exaggerations enter your life and give you opportunity, or invitation to more clearly understand the flow of your life, the around and around of your life.
If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year. Grab one or all and see what stirs you up. Change the wording around to make it feel right for you. As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe. Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer. Invite your wisdom to be your guide. And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step. You have as much time as you need.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER
Where do stand in the circle of your life?
Are you pushing the edges of life to understand it better or to poke at it cause you’re confused?
How will you, how do you shine?
What new beginning is pushing at your edges to consider or take action on?
What can you do that supports that feeling of magic in the air?
If you ‘are the One’, how does your Oneness join with others?
What does the tool of ‘earth’ mean to you and how might you use it well?
What does the tool of ‘fire’ mean to you and how might you use it well
What does the tool of ‘water’ mean to you and how you might you use it well?
What does the tool of ‘air’ mean to you and how might you use it well?
What are some other names for these elements, or metaphors that you relate to? i.e. feeling grounded and stable, knowing your passion and the flame within you, listening to you heart and intuition, and getting clear and focused.
What of your own Sun will you shine on to make grow and come to fruition?

HERMIT-NESS IN A FRIENDLY MOON… 9/18

Posted on by
Standard

17 may 2012   >  9/18  >   Hermit/Moon  

 

TAROT HAIKU

Shadow whispers here

Quiet soft contemplation

Rest in peace for now

 

Morning… Moving into a Hermit kinda day; a ‘9’ kinda day.  A pretty morning kinda day in my zone.  

 ‘9’, is the number for bringing-it-all-together: tying up lose ends, completing that project, that plan, that thought, so you can move on.  Being stuck in ‘9’ energy can keep things from coming to completion or missing out on an opportunity that needs more action and less pondering.  And… pondering and quiet time is essential in the ‘9/18’  especially if this is your birthday and you have a whole year to be with this energy.

  Hermit ‘energy’ needs time to ponder and recluse; to gather energy in quietude and meditation so that there is more energy to have and more light to shine., more wisdom to gather and share.  There isn’t a time limit on the need for silence and gathering. And… once this time of quietude finds completion, Hermit energy is ready to give back and share what wisdom which was held in the shadows of life and is now ready to shine it out for others to see and feel.

    With the Moon as your ally, take a look in those shadows of yours and drag that unfinished business into the light. The Moon, speaks to cycles, the flow of feelings and thoughts that provoke those feelings, the shadows of life, how you reflect light, and the fullness of that radiance.

The Hermit, calls to your inner wisdom, lights it up and lets it shine within and out.  He/she invites you to pay attention to what you know and how you might expand on that spiritually.

 

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What wisdom have you gathered that you can honor and share?

What does your ‘light’ look and feel like?

How do you gather your Light and share it?

Can you take some time to just be calm and quiet with no doing?

What does it mean for you to ‘lighten up’?

Do you have project or two or three that you’d like to finish and what does that mean for you?

Can you take some down time?

What needs ‘pulling together’?

Can you honor your own needs and say no to something when you need time alone?

Who needs you to say ‘no, not now’?

Think of what the Hermit means to you and how do you feel about that expression within yourself? 

What inner wisdom is urging you to pay attention to it and listen? 

How do the MOon and the Hermit share this ‘9ness’?

TAKE NOTICE IN THE TURNING… 10/19/1

Posted on by

9 may 2012   > 10/19/1  >  Wheel of Fortune/Sun/Magician

 

TAROT HAIKU

Magic lives in turns

Of life’s wheel up and down round

Take time to notice

 

And around it comes again..Good Morning.  Where in the Wheel of Life do you stand?

A ‘1’ kinda day and year should it be your birthday.  Before you get to the ‘1’ you meet with the ‘10’, the Wheel of Fortune.  So I tend to give a little extra to this card as you express your ‘1’ energy.  The ‘1’ of this card is filled with the turning of life.

 

 A day of being #1, knowing your Oneness, knowing that you are at One with all there is and all you are.  It is about how you initiate your life, how you stand centered and your sense of personal awareness.  In considering The Wheel of Fortune, which can represent the Circle of Life; turning and changing,  up and down, east and west, ever inviting you in to your center where the journey of life is more steady and focused. That center can be where the Sun shine directly on you to help you flourish and see where you’re going and how you’re growing.

 The Magician has all the tools you need;  earth, fire, air, and water, that translates to; what you do, how you hold true to yourself and your passion, how you get clarity, how you feel, and what your heart speaks to.  

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

How do you stay centered in yourself and if not how will you?

How will you push your edges and try to expand a little bit more?

What does the wheel of your life look like and how does it turn?

What new beginning is pushing at your edges to consider or take action on?

What can you do that supports that feeling of magic in the air?

If you ‘are the One’, how does your Oneness join with others?

What does the tool of ‘earth’ mean to you?  

What does the tool of ‘fire’ mean to you

What does the tool of ‘water’ mean to you?

What does the tool of ‘air’ mean to you?

How can you use these tool to move with changes and turns of your life?

PONDER AND RECLUSE… ‘9’ and the Hermit/Moon

Posted on by
Standard

8 may 2012   >   9/18  >  Hermit/Moon

 

 GoodMorning… The canopy of trees glitter green this morning in the rising Sun.  They are almost fully expanded.  It’s beautiful.  There is comfort living beneath their spread.

 

TAROT HAIKU

Ponder and recluse

Take what you need in your time

There is enough Light

 

 This day or if it’s your birthday is a time to take some quiet time and really gather your light, your unfinished business, your need for closure, whatever has been lingering in the undone zone that urges you to finish up.  Maybe you’ve been plowing through life and are drained, depleted, no time for yourself and your creative desires and dreams.  This is day to give a little bit to tidying up what has been bugging you and you feel frustrated with.  It might be a time to let go of that piece of life you keep putting off and putting off and now it’s just a thorn in your side, poking hard and undone, going no where.

 

  ‘9’, is the number for bringing-it-all-together: tying up lose ends, completing that project, that plan, that thought, so you can move on.  Being stuck in ‘9’ energy can keep things from coming to completion or missing out on an opportunity that need more action and less pondering.  

  Hermit ‘energy’  needs time to ponder and recluse; to gather energy in quietude and meditation so that there is more energy to have and more light to shine., more wisdom to gather and share.  There isn’t a time limit on the need for silence and gathering. And… once this time of quietude finds completion, Hermit energy is ready to give back and share what wisdom which was held in the shadows of life and is now ready to shine it out for others to see and feel.

    With the Moon as your ally, take a look in those shadows of yours and drag that unfinished business into the light. The Moon, speaks to cycles, the flow of feelings and thoughts that provoke those feelings, the shadows of life, how you reflect light, and the fullness of that radiance.

The Hermit, calls to your inner wisdom, lights it up and lets it shine within and out.  He/she invites you to pay attention to what you know and how you might expand on that spiritually.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What wisdom have you gathered that you can honor and share?

What is your ‘light’ and how do you gather your Light and share it?

Can you take some time to just be calm and quiet with no doing?

What does it mean for you to ‘lighten up’?

Do you have project or two or three that you’d like to finish and what does that mean for you?

Can you take some down time?

What needs ‘pulling together’?

UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN… 12 … HangedOne/Empress

Posted on by
Standard

30 april 2012    >    12/3/21  >  HangedOne/Empress/Universe

 

Hi there.  The last day of April.  Does time seem to be flying?   It’s zooming in my world.  And today is an April shower.  The thing is, is that most of the spring flowers have come and gone and summer blooms are ready to burst.  Kinda crazy.

 

TAROT HAIKU

Down is up up down

view is perspective changing

The Universe opens

 

Today is a day for the Hanged One.  A ‘12’ leading to the ‘3’.  With the ‘21’ sending Universal reminders.  This is day/ or year, if it’s your birthday, to consider a new perspective in your life.  To take a creative view of how you have thus far aligned your life and you might need/desire to turn it a little upside down; take a look at it from another angle or two.  You might already have been feeling that life has turned you upside down and whether you were ready or not.. hahah.  here you are, and now what?  I am of the thought/feeling that If you don’t know what to do, ‘hang’ with the moments till you feel the time is ready and right.  The deal is that you may have to take your time and be patient with yourself and others while the process and perspective brews.  The Empress as your sidekick here, invites you to think creatively and nurture a new possibility.  Have some fun with it and life and risk making a few mistakes and consider yourself highly creative. The Universe, your other ally here, pushes at the edges of your life from a broader perspective, reminding you that you are indeed part of Infinite wisdom and only need to allow yourself to tap into that vastness.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

Just take one question that might inspire you…or two… or three… take what you need

 

What new perspective might you need to consider?

How can you be more patient with yourself and others?

Can you remember that your have as much time as you need?

How do you feel about just letting go of your attachment to making a decision right now?

What one thing might you do to expand your view of the world?

Is there a class or creative project that is waiting for you to take action?

What does it feel like to wait and then maybe wait a little more and know that that is perfect?

What do you take soooo seriously that gets in the way of your joy?

How can you nurture yourself?  What does that mean anyway?

Can you create one day/evening a week for simply having fun?
